Certicom Digital Rights Management (DRM)

"XM Satellite Radio is transforming radio with the support and participation of its leading music and news programming partners including MTV, CNBC, CNN Headline News, CNET, Fox News, ABC News & Talk, USA Today, Bloomberg, and BBC World Service," said XM Vice President Derek de Bastos. "Certicom's strong encryption technology is a crucial element of our service as it protects the integrity of our content and ensures that only authenticated members have access to it."

Digital content is now distributed to a plethora of end-user devices, including mobile handsets, set-top boxes, PCs, and car information systems. All of these are built on different architectures with complex hardware and software combinations. This contributes to a complex digital content ecosystem. And without Digital Rights Management (DRM) this ecosystem is vulnerable to security threats.

New media channels represent new markets: but to capitalize on them, service providers must first establish business-friendly controls over the digital rights to content. Conditional access is essential.

With robust DRM software you can:

Secure the software: including the DRM Agent and applications that consume digital content.

Secure the silicon: cryptographic keys and sensitive information must be securely stored and accessed. As well, secure media co-processor designs can be used to deliver performance and security benefits.

Trust Begins at the Platform

Working together, the Certicom Security Architecture™ and Certicom Trusted Infrastructure™ allow for the creation of a secure, trusted platform on which providers can build and distribute their services. That trust extends all the way from a device’s boot process through to the upper-layer security protocols, achieved through cryptographic hardware validation, code-signing, and integrity measurement and reporting.

DRM software from Certicom provides a comprehensive framework for DRM implementations, and includes the Certicom Security Architecture™ and Certicom KeyInject™ with the following components:
